Antioxidant Activities of Co-Encapsulated Natal Plum (Carissa macrocarpa) Juice Inoculated with Ltp. plantarum 75 in Different Biopolymeric Matrices after In Vitro Digestion.

ABSTRACT: Biopolymeric systems that co-encapsulate probiotics and bioactive compounds ensure timely delivery in the gastrointestinal tract. Cyanidin 3-sambubioside is the dominant anthocyanin in Natal plum (Carissa macrocarpa). This study aims at the co-encapsulation of Natal plum (Carissa macrocarpa) juice inoculated with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 75 (Ltp. plantarum 75) by freeze-drying using pea protein isolate, maltodextrin, and psyllium mucilage and evaluating their release in vitro. An encapsulation efficiency of >85% was noted in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) survival and anthocyanin content. Freeze-drying produced pinkish-red powder, rich in polyphenols and LAB (>6 Log CFU mL^-1) after 14 days of storage. Natal plum juice + maltodextrin + pea prote
